  • EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX PROTEINS FROM HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE BIOFILMS: TARGETS FOR THERAPEUTIC OR DIAGNOSTIC USE
    Publication number: 20150293092
    Abstract: A method of identifying a biofilm that includes non-typeable Haemophilus influenza (NTHi) including a step of screening a sample for the presence of one or more biofilm-specific proteins that are expressed by NTHi. In some cases, an NTHi biofilm-related disease in a subject is diagnosed. Also disclosed are protein microarrays for screening biofilm-specific proteins in a sample, formulations comprising one or more biofilm-specific proteins or fragments thereof, and methods for inducing an immune response in a patient against a biofilm-related infection.
